Hacker reverse engineers his Samsung TV and finds on-device AI listening for your dog and baby, watching what you watch, and borrowing your soundbar's mic if the TV doesn't have one. Then OpenAI banned him for reverse-engineering it.

I agree about the psych evaluation. But regarding the exam: a politician is basically a combination of manager and sales person. Of neither role do I expect (deeper) understanding of the things they manage or sell. They need different skills.

But they need to listen to the experts in their ministries and be able to convey their results and concerns to other politicians who are even farther away from their topics and to the public. What they absolutely should not do is push some own agenda; especially not an agenda they somehow profit from.

That implies a certain level on integrity, honesty and humility, which are a bit tricky to test. Would love to see more of that though.
